Kenny should be judged on actions

Call me cynical, but as moving as Taoiseach Enda Kenny’s speech was I seem to recall he’s used the catch in the throat gimmick before.

He should be judged on his actions.

The day he was elected Taoiseach his voice caught while he recalled his parent’s generation who, he said, “represent the nobility, decency and very soul of the Irish people and because they do, their spirit is with us on this important day, signifying that we are one people, ancient and new, on a journey, a single journey of continuous transformation”.
